As you think so you become. When we connect our feelings with relations, wealth, job, position, house, etc., we are trapped in a web of our own making. Our feelings and emotions directed towards God can be expressed through the nine paths of devotion. One can attain the highest state through devotion. It releases one from the cycle of birth and death. Attaining God through devotion ends the spiritual journey.
